To Check Safety Valve (Fig. C)
WARNING: Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve
does not work properly, over-pressurization may
occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects. Always
wear certified safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields.
Before starting compressor, pull the ring
valve to make sure that the safety valve operates freely. If
the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be
replaced with the same type of valve.

To Drain Tank (Fig. A, D)
WARNING: Risk of Unsafe Operation. Air tanks
contain high pressure air. Keep face and other
body parts away from outlet of drain. Use
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when
draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
WARNING: Risk from noise. Always wear proper
hearing protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
NoTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate
that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter,
aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating
oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws
and regulations.
